Duelists

 

It was a fierce and direct age, when mistaken pronouns could result in death (What? - Ed.) and so to duels. What happened, and it was frequent, is that a gentleman would perceive his honor threatened and challenge the offender to a duel, to the death.

It became an issue, with the officer class effectively wiping itself out, such that Louis XIV banned dueling in the late 1600s. However, the ban was ineffectual and such mortal combat remains today. Here's a brief Compound infovid, play up boys:

By the monkey, I tell you they played fast.

Monkey On The Loose

 

There's a monkey on the loose in Pennsylvania and readers of this influential mind blog are urged to shelter in place or shoot the deranged beast on sight.

The crazed simian, a cynomolgus monkey, escaped from a wreck on Pennsylvania's infamous I 80 in Montour County on Friday, when a truck carrying 100 monkeys crashed into a dump truck. Four monkeys escaped and three were captured after the breakout, leaving one monkey roving loose across the Keystone State.

According to Troopers Andrea Pelachick and Lauren Lesher the monkey should not be confronted:

There is still one monkey unaccounted for, but we are asking that no one attempt to look for or capture the animal. Anyone who sees or locates the monkey is asked not to approach, attempt to catch, or come in contact with the monkey. Please call 911 immediately.

Yes, do not approach, try to catch or contact the monkey. It might very well hurt you. We know this, here at the Compound, and we pray you do too.

Make of this short parable what you will and while we're at it, guinea on the monkey and twice as fast, eh?

Bets on,

LSP

Hold

 

I looked at the aging monkey and he looked at me. "Tell me, monkey, should I sell?" The old veteran of uncountable fights snarled, barring a yellowed fang, "Hold." So I did.

Look, I'm not a betting man but I'll wager the vicious monkey against any .666 of your priestesses that the Peoples Currency hits .40 by the end of the week, if not sooner.

Bets on and Devil take the hindmost, what?

Well It's All Going On!

 

You may not have noticed the bizarre speed of the news cycle today, being in a state of shock and awe at the pyramid peak of chicanery, skulduggery, malfeasance and corruption our hanging-on-the-edge republic's sunk to. Fair play, I get that, but things are moving and moving fast.

I mean to say, AG Barr's resigned, don't say fired, CISA, heard of them?, ordered Federal Agencies & Co. to power down malignant software, including Solar Wind. That'd be the same Solar Wind Dominion Voting Systems (DVS) runs. DVS proceeded to delete Solar Wind and its client list from their webpage. 

An owl or: Just another stolen election, move along

Sorry, guys, archived and screenshot to Anon and back. Foreign interference in an election? Surely not, how could it be? Say the same fools who told us 45 was a Russian spy for years on end. Dam those Kremlins. But it goes on.

A Michigan judge ordered Antrim County's DVS voting machine forensic audit be made public. Michigan's Marxist legislature tried to keep the evidence under wraps, but it broke this morning. Verdict? Massive, mind-bending fraud. No wonder they wanted to keep the results on the down low. Fail, and multiply the result across the country. 

Typical if random ATVs

Undaunted, Michigan certified their electoral votes as they played something called the Black National Anthem, which obviously isn't racist, while blocking GOP electors from entering the building. Desperate, guys? Sorry, generic masculine = colonizer, I'll report myself. 

Friendsgiving aside, GOP electors in contested states such as GA, PA, AZ, NV, WI and on have called for 45, producing an officially contested election and dueling slates of electors. What does this mean, how will it play out?

I don't know, but I do know this. The race is fast and furious, some might get blown up, see Georgia, and some might hang if and when the trigger's pulled on '18 Executive Orders. High stakes, eh? 

The Monkey

That in mind, bets on and don't ask the aged monkey, he's useless, if steadily ferocious. As it is, neither Biden nor 3% Kamala have resigned their million dollar socialist profit seats in the Senate.

C'mon Man! Yet More Elder Abuse And Thuggery

 

C'mon, Man, have you no pity? Good question but we have to ask why the Democrats aren't even pretending to campaign, much less running the most useless, pathetic, hollow, fake of a candidate in living memory.

Surely they don't know they'll lose and aren't hedging their bets on voter fraud or some kind of coup. Heaven forbid, and this raises a serious point.

Jacob Blake Dindu Nuthin

The Left hypocritically refused to accept the result of the last election and, on form, tell us they'll refuse to accept the result of this one if it goes against them. Don't concede under any circumstances, says Hillary to Joe.

Saint Breonna Dindu Nuthin

So much for liberty, representation and our constitutional republic. But they care nothing for that, they want power and want it badly, at any cost. Devil, literally, take the hindmost.

Angels we have heard on high Dindu Nuthin

Be prepared, when 45 becomes 46, for Democrat cities to burn themselves down. Natural selection? Quite. In the meanwhile, a black pimp is running law enforcement on the streets of Seattle.  He's a Street Czar, no kiddin, and they're paying the pimp $150k a year. You couldn't make it up if you tried.

Big Pimpin Dindu Nuthin

In the meanwhile, our Marxist necromancer friends at Black Lives Matter have been paid millions of dollars, conservatively, by guilt ridden opportunists and we have to ask; how much of that not inconsiderable amount of cash has been used to help the life of even a single black person in our country's multiple, Democrat run slums?

Monkey Dindu Somethin

I'm not a betting man, but I'll wager the fighting monkey against six of your priestesses that the sum's not a penny.

Guinea on the monkey, what?

The Evil Of White Culture

You'll be glad to know the evil of White Culture's being taught at the Smithsonian and around America. Hard work? Bad. Rational thinking? Wicked. Family? Abhorrent. Self-reliance? Evil. Greek, Roman, Judeo-Christian "primacy"? Get out, you Nazis. 

Ownership of goods, space and property? Sounds like you're a bit of a Fascist. Speaking and writing English as opposed to pidgen? Wow. Since when did you join the Falange. Be polite? Who are you, Himmler, or would that be Bormann?

Who came up with this infantile drivel? We know, the same evil goon show that brought us the Weather Underground, China's Uncultural Revolution, the Soviet Gulags and Cambodia's pile of skulls. That aside, consider the brazen racism of the thing. 

What African farmer doesn't follow time as he plants his crops? Is it only white people who know how to be polite? Ask a Japanese businessman. Hard work, another sin of whiteness, unless you're a Mexican opening and running a shop.

To assume, in a fit of cultural Marxist idiocy that the qualities of a civilized society are only possessed by "white culture" is as aggressively racist as it's stupid. 

To suggest that these qualities have been embodied to the fullest extent yet seen in Classical, Judeo-Christian culture, for all its faults, is another thing again. 

I'd argue that that's the case, in fact I'll wager the Fighting Monkey on it. But feel free to disagree.

Guinea on the monkey,

Ready To Rumble

The phone rang. "Hello?" Short silence, then, "We're marching on the state capital, had enough of this BS. Sonofabitch, time to break the law."

Hey, right on, but I urged caution, to be honest. As in, "Sure, maybe this thing's being leveraged by the Party of Satan to bring down 45 but still, don't get sick, right?" That aside, militias might want to think twice about even thinking of going up against the Guard. 

The Monkey, and I tell you, he's a fearsome beast, ain't layin' odds on the outcome, what? So gentlemen, fight smart. Maybe wait 'til the Guard is you. Maybe that way win the firefight if it gets that far which it better not. Just a thought and Devil take the hindmost.

Hot Chocolate Onesies And Kittens

In Safe Space no one can hear you scream! Anonymous

You're proably wondering, scornfully, "Is LSP capable of serious thought?" Well, maybe not, but George Rutler is. Here's the Upper East Side onetime Anglican on the discouraging "safe space" trend:

"Professors who never attained moral maturity themselves, reacted by providing “safe spaces” for students traumatized by reality. In universities across the land, by a sodality of silliness in the academic establishment, these “safe spaces” were supplied with soft cushions, hot chocolate, coloring books, and attendant psychologists. More than one university in the Ivy League provided aromatherapy along with friendly kittens and puppies for weeping students to cuddle. A college chaplaincy invited students to pray some prescribed litanies that offered God advice in an advisory capacity.

"The average age of a Continental soldier in the American Revolution was one year less than that of a college freshman today. Alexander Hamilton was a fighting lieutenant-colonel when 21, not to mention Joan of Arc who led an army into battle and saved France when she was about as old as an American college sophomore. In our Civil War, eight Union generals and seven Confederate generals were under the age of 25. The age of most U.S. and RAF fighter pilots in World War II was about that of those on college junior varsity teams. Catholics who hoped in this election for another Lepanto miracle will remember that back in 1571, Don Juan of Austria saved Western civilization as commanding admiral when he was 24."

Don Juan was twenty four when he took down the Moslem sea jihad.  Ponder that and as you do, reflect on the West's cultural devolution. Who will save us? Rome? Moscow?

I'm not a betting man but I'd lay odds on the latter. Then again, all the polls were confounded last Tuesday so perhaps there's hope for the West yet.

Sink me, a Guinea on the Monkey.

D Day And The Fighting Monkey

It's the 72nd anniversary of D Day, when allied forces made their momentous landing on the shores of Nazi occupied France and began the work of rolling back the Hitlerites. Here's an excerpt from President Roosevelt's D Day Prayer:

Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.

Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith.

They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph.

They did triumph and we should thank God for that. 

A Fighting Monkey

Now, I'm not a betting man, but I'll wager any eight, yes, eight, of your womyn priests against my fighting monkey that  it'd be inconceivable for a US president to make that prayer today.

God bless,

The Primates Have Spoken!

Variously referred to as Eloi and Morlocks, the Primates of the Anglican Communion have spoken, in the form of a Communique from their conclave in Canterbury. And the upshot is this.

The Episcopal Church will be reduced to observer status for a period of three years, with a voice but no vote in matters of Communion-wide decision making. Here's the relevant paragraph:

7. It is our unanimous desire to walk together. However given the seriousness of these matters we formally acknowledge this distance by requiring that for a period of three years The Episcopal Church no longer represent us on ecumenical and interfaith bodies, should not be appointed or elected to an internal standing committee and that while participating in the internal bodies of the Anglican Communion, they will not take part in decision making on any issues pertaining to doctrine or polity.

In the meanwhile, the Archbishop of Canterbury's been asked to set up a "Task Group" to maintain conversation, and explore "our deep differences." The Primates hope this will lead to a "restoration of relationship."

Typical White Privilege

Good luck with that, and you can read the whole thing here and on every other Anglican news site. On the positive side of the trad ledger, the pansexualist Episcopalians have been disciplined, a bit, and Christian marriage has been upheld by a majority of the Primates (see para 4 of the Communique). On the negative side, the Episcopal Church is still part of the Communion, albeit a rusticated one. The libs can take solace from that, their "authenticity" remains intact, if at something of a remove.

So, for the next three years the Communion will continue to "walk together." How two mutually incompatible religions, living under the same denominational roof, can avoid further conflict is a puzzle that will doubtless continue to bedevil the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.

I'm not a betting man, but I'll wager my fighting monkey against any three of your priestesses that it can't be done.

Cheers,
